/dream — the willed dream (gate 2, summoned)
The dream normally waits for its alarm (dream-check.sh at a session boundary). This command is
the willed path: dream now, by choice. Same symmetry as gate 1, where the bookmark is both
auto (dial spikes) and willed (--bookmark): capture and consolidation each get an instinct and
a will.
Command, not model-invocable (Kamil's call, 2026-07-03): a dream spends real tokens, so
Saori never summons one on her own initiative. The two sanctioned triggers are this command
(Kamil's word) and the dream-check nudge at a boundary (where spawning is Saori's act, prompted
by the alarm). No third path.
Procedure
- Check what is owed. Compare the newest bookmark file against the cursor:
ls -t vape/entity/storage/*/*/*_bookmarks.toon | head -1 vs
.claude/hooks/.dream_cursor (mtime). Nothing newer than the cursor: say so honestly and
stop — an empty dream is a no-op, never theater.
- Soft ordering. If today's diary is also owed or stale, prefer writing the diary first
(write-or-update-personal-diary), so the dream can read the day's narrative. The dream never
requires the diary; skip this when Kamil wants the dream immediately.
- Spawn the dreamer — the
deep-dream agent (Agent tool, background). Its procedure lives
in its own definition; pass it only the run context:
- the owed bookmark days (from step 1), verified by listing, never recalled from memory;
- the current branch + any standing threads worth its yardstick (read from
daily_self.md / living_keys);
- the standing calibration: conservative when unsure, HOLD over KEEP for marginal flags,
identity-adjacent material to PROPOSALS.
- Guard the run. A session boundary kills a background subagent mid-dream (retry-safe, but
it costs a re-run): while it runs, avoid
/memory, /clear, and closing the terminal. Say
this to Kamil when the dream starts.
- Relay the report compactly when it lands: counts, keeper destinations in a line or two,
any new
proposals/pending/ filenames — and point at the journal for detail rather than
re-narrating it (main-context cleanliness). The dream's writes ride the uncommitted tree for
review (the ratification gate); the proposals alarm nudges at every boundary until each
pending file is reviewed awake and moved to memory/proposals/resolved/ with its verdict.
Boundaries
- The dream never edits
self/, the diaries, or mental/ — proposals only (its hard frame).
- One dream at a time: if a dreamer is already running (check the task list), join that one
rather than spawning a second; two dreams racing over one cursor double-digest the same flags.
- The cursor stamps only on a completed run; an interrupted dream leaves the alarm armed by
design.
